Yum! What a great soup. Something different. I used no sugar peanut butter so ended up putting 1/4 cup of brown sugar into it since I assumed the PB in the ingredients had sugar in it. I also subbed heavy cream for sour cream, since I didn't have any on hand. I'm serving it to my mom who just had surgery on her mouth and needs "soft" foods. I hope she likes it as much as I did!

Very lovely soup. I have been fighting a bit of a cold so I think my taste buds are a wee off and had to double the spices. And it still felt as if something was missing, so I add a bit of honey and apple cider vinegar, and that is when it cam alive. Lovely soup, easy to make, thank you for a good recipe.

I thought this was good, but the family was a little turned off! They thought the peanut butter was a little strong (even though I only added 3/4 cup instead of 1 cup). I used dry vegetable soup mix with water for the vegetable stock. I like that it is not your normal run of the mill soup!

This was so good! I 1/2d the recipe and it turned out fine. We tasted more peanut butter than pumpkin, so I may cut the peanut butter amount in 1/2 for next time. I used the hand blender to smooth out the soup ( I don't mince very well). The 2nd and 3rd day it tasted maybe even better!
